A thoroughly enjoyable and outright entertaining movie, District-9 is a ingeniously done, totally engaging sci-fi movie. Filmed as a documentary and made by a modest budget of just over $30 million, this is an awesome effort to tell us an actual story.

The film surmises around aliens which hovered over Johannesburg in Africa, 28 years from now, in sickly malnourished condition, and were called “prawns” because of their look depicting a cross between grasshoppers and shrimps. These leaderless and starving aliens after evacuation were given an eponymous area and were quarantined from the city in a slum referred as “District-9 or D-9”. The film featuring the most dyspotian vision of alien contact ever shown, it shows that the aliens are not the enemy rather the humans are!

Directed by a South African director Neill Blomkamp and starring mainly South Africans, the cast of the film consist of Sharlto Copley (Wikus), Jason Cope (Christopher Johnson), David James (Koobus), Vanessa Haywood (Tania) and Louis Minnaar (Piet Smit).

District 9 rated “R” for the bloody violence and pervasive swearing language in the inter-planet denizens requires parents company to watch, for all those under 17.

Everything about the film being ridiculously awesome, this features most incredible CG creatures ever created in a movie before and is an intransigent mockumentary which contains every gist enough to satisfy geeks and drooling fanboys alike and also comes out as one of its kind in years for casual viewers to experience a ride of a frolic roller-coaster.
